"Nadi Pyasi Thi" is a short play of three acts. There is a depressed and somewhat cynical character named Rajesh among the others, and he is dominant in the whole play. Even in this short play of just 17-18 pages, Dharamveer Bharti hasn't failed to leave his philosophical impression on readers' mind. I think I am getting to be his fan gradually.

It's a play.

It's a short and light play with intermittent seriousness and philosophical view points The major theme is love, fidelity, woman characterisation and heart break. I went through the script only and maybe its effect would have been stronger if had seen the play. At the end, it does not leave reader stupefied. Anyway, the nuances of relationship can be enjoyed in this one!

It is a slender volume of about 100 pages. There are 5 short one-act plays in it. The first one is eponymous “Nadi Pyasi Thi”. The beginning of the play seems to be inspired by The Riders to the Sea, but then suddenly the play becomes philosophical and becomes more attuned to the sensibilities of 1950s-60s with a forced suicide.
Neeli Jheel and Avaaz Ka Neelam are prophetic and appear to have been written in the current times.
Sangemarmar Par Ek Raat has feminist overtones in the story of Jehangir and Meharunnisa.
Srishti Ka Aakhiri Aadami is in verse, a format mastered by Dharmavir Bharati.
